A US marijuana business is being sued by two users who claim unhealthy pesticides have been used to grow their weed.

Two marijuana users in Colorado have filed a lawsuit against a pot business they said used an unhealthy pesticide to grow their weed – a case that lawyers say is the first product liability claim in the nation involving the legal marijuana industry.

The case underscores disagreement over what chemicals should be allowed in the cultivation of pot and leaves the plaintiffs facing an unusual dilemma: The US government still regards almost all marijuana as an illicit drug and there are no federal safety guidelines for growing it.

The state of Colorado has approved a list of pesticides that are acceptable to grow pot but it’s far from complete and leaves out several pesticides that are commonly used on both food and tobacco.
